The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red’s next big game, Cyberpunk 2077, releases on December 10, but that’s just the start. The game will be playable on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S through backwards compatibility, but the true next-gen editions aren’t releasing for some time longer.
When Does Cyberpunk 2077 Release For PS5 And Xbox Series X|S?
The bespoke editions of Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are penciled in for 2021 at the soonest. Business development boss Michal Nowakowski said of the new-gen editions, “When it comes to a proper, full-blown next-gen version, that’s going to come later.”
People playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will see some improvements due to the power of those machines, however. “It will look better on next-generation consoles,” CDPR has said.
Whenever Cyberpunk 2077’s PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions are released, they will be available as a free upgrade for those who bought the game already. It’ll need to be in the same family, though; if you have the game on PS4, you can upgrade to the PS5 version.
CDPR management has said the next-gen edition of Cyberpunk 2077 may release in 2021, or it might not; the studio has not settled on a release date yet.
Cyberpunk 2077 releases on December 10 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, along with PS4 and Xbox One. You can buy the game at a variety of stores, but if you want the highest amount of money to go to the developer, you can buy it from CDPR’s own digital store, GOG.
